Raya (Mathura). A horrific road accident on the Jaipur-Bareilly Highway has given a wound to a family of Gaju village, which can never be compensated. A speeding car entered the field and crushed three generations of the same family who were building a shrine for their ancestors. Jawahar Singh, his son Harveer and grandson Ankit, who lost their lives in the accident, were cremated together on Friday. Seeing the three pyres burning together, the eyes of the people present in the village became moist.
The accident happened near village Gaju of Raya police station area on Thursday morning at around 7.30 am. Jawahar Singh (75), his son Harveer Singh (45) and grandson Ankit (25) were building the temple of ancestors in the field. The farm was about 200 meters away from the highway. Other family members were also present there.
The car jumped in the air and fell into the field
Meanwhile, the red colored Swift car coming from Aligarh went out of control at high speed. The car fell off the highway into a field and overturned several times after hitting a stone. During this time, he caught Jawahar Singh, Harveer and Ankit, who were engaged in construction work. After the collision, the car overturned at a distance of about 70 meters. All three died on the spot.
Car driver Aman Sharma was also injured in the accident. He is said to be a resident of Kailash Nagar in Vrindavan. The police took him out by cutting the window of the car and took him to the hospital for treatment.
Angry villagers blocked the highway
The death of three people of the same family spread anger among the villagers. People blocked the highway by placing dead bodies on it. On information, police from Raya, Jamunapar, Baldev and Vrindavan police stations reached the spot. The police officers explained to the people and assured action, after which the traffic was restored.
Risk of accident due to napping
SSP Shlok Kumar said that initially there is a possibility of the car going out of control due to the driver dozing off. However, the actual causes of the accident are being investigated. After post-mortem, all three bodies were handed over to the relatives.
When the last rites of all three took place together on Friday, the entire village along with the family was in mourning. The family has been devastated by the loss of grandfather, son and grandson in the same accident.
